Longest build time in history?

There could be an element of affect from the wrong part number sender unit being fitted. I had this problem where the fuel sender unit from a larger tank (the 70ltr from the 16vs and 2.6s) was fitted to my 2.0Ltr car with 55 tank. Never got to the bottom of it, just learnt how to drive around it. lol |
